Abstract The focus of this work is sign spotting –given a video an isolated sign, our task to identify whether and where it has been signed in continuous, co-articulated language video. To achieve task, we train model using multiple types available supervision by: (1) watching existing footage which sparsely labelled mouthing cues; (2) reading associated subtitles (readily translations the cont...

In many cases, crashes at intersections account for over 50% of all urban road accidents. The need to reduce these crashes has fostered considerable research on the development and evaluation of traffic safety at intersections. This paper introduces a micro-level behavioral method for estimating crash potential at signalized and unsignalized intersections for different traffic characteristics. ...

What can we do? In the absence of evidence, the NPSA and the Royal C ollege of Surgeons consulted clinical experts to identify key actions to make practice safer: • Use only tourniquets with the CE marking (which indicates conformity with the European Union’s safety standards), which are labelled and/or brightly coloured to maximise visibility. Do not use gloves as tourniquets • Reconcile the n...

Despite a trend towards increased road safety, fatal and/or serious accidents induce a significant toll each year. We work towards improved road safety through the development of an intelligent driver assistance system that monitors the driver’s performance and assists with vehicle guidance. This complex task is decomposed into subsystems including lane-keeping, obstacle avoidance, sign detecti...

We determine the polarized gluon distribution ∆g(x) by a global analysis using current DIS and π0 asymmetry data. The π0 data from RHIC-Spin experiments provide a strong constraint on ∆g(x), so that its uncertainty is reduced. However, a sign problem appears in the analysis using π0 data, which means that positive and negative distributions are allowed for ∆g(x). These two types of solutions ar...

To address the paucity of current research on the development of creativity in deaf students, and to extend existing research to adolescents, the present study investigated divergent thinking, a method of assessing creativity, in both deaf and hearing adolescents. We assessed divergent thinking in two domains, figural and verbal, while also adjusting the instructional method in written format, ...

This review sought to determine the evidence base of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) use with infants and toddlers with disabilities. The review identified 12 studies, involving 190 participants aged 36 months or younger. The majority of the studies investigated unaided AAC methods (e.g., gestures or sign language), with 42% of the studies also including aided AAC methods. Alth...
